Google Ads · Local service businesses

Turn ad spend into
predictable, qualified leads.

We manage Google Ads for local service businesses — plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and home services. Budgets from $2K to $50K a month, measured on cost per booked job rather than impressions. A small number of accounts at a time, handled directly by us.

Our approach

Every engagement starts with understanding, not assumptions.

Business owners are the experts on their own customers. Our process is a feedback loop between the data and the people closest to the business: we test rigorously, measure what matters, and keep you involved in judging lead quality — because volume means nothing if the leads don't convert.

01

Audit & goal setting

Understand the business goals, growth targets, and service segmentation. Then audit the existing account — what's working, and where spend is leaking.

02

Tracking & landing pages

Rebuild conversion tracking from scratch — calls, forms, and micro-conversions. Audit landing pages so the traffic you're paying for actually converts.

03

Campaign & keyword strategy

Tightly structured campaigns, intent-matched keywords, and a negative keyword strategy that eliminates low-intent clicks before they cost you.

04

Test, optimize, repeat

Structured tests across copy, bids, and targeting, tied to business goals — with an ongoing lead-quality feedback loop with you.

Case study · Emergency plumbing

73% reduction in
cost per lead.

$300 CPL → $80 CPL in 90 days

The situation

An emergency plumbing business was running ads with no proper conversion tracking, broad keywords pulling low-intent clicks, and a landing page that wasn't built to convert. Cost per lead had climbed to $300 — unsustainable for a business where speed-to-lead is everything.

What we did

  • Rebuilt conversion tracking from scratch — calls, forms, micro-conversions.
  • Restructured campaigns around emergency-intent keywords.
  • Built out negative keyword lists to eliminate wasted spend.
  • Shifted to Target CPA once clean data was in place.
  • Provided landing page copy and structural recommendations.

Industries we've supported

  • Plumbing
  • HVAC
  • Roofing
  • Auto repair
  • Dentistry
  • Med spa & cosmetic surgery
  • Dog training

It's a different game than national search: tight service areas, expensive clicks, and phones that need to ring today. The work is unglamorous and specific — call-worthy ad copy, negative keyword hygiene, bid strategy tuned to your real job value, and honest reporting on cost per booked job.
